Systems Engineering focuses on the design, integration and management of complex systems throughout their lifecycle. In essence, a Systems Engineer needs to understand how systems interact and make sure they are doing this at their best to meet the needs of the client or business.

Salaries for Systems Engineers vary depending on skills and experience but, on average, salaries in the UK range from £40,000 to £75,000 per year.
In order to become a Systems Engineer, you typically need a degree in a related field, such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science. If you’re thinking of studying Systems Engineering at university, taking advantage of a placement year will help you to gain real world experience.
If you have just finished studying, it would be ideal to gain practical experience through internship or junior roles.
If you would like to become a Systems Engineer and haven’t been to university, don’t worry! Apprenticeships are a great opportunity to learn on the job and there are several apprenticeships specifically designed for Systems Engineers roles, such as Systems engineer (degree) (level 7.)
Aside from qualifications, Systems Engineer job duties require you to have strong problem solving and analytics skills – you’ll need to be able to adapt quickly and think on your feet!
Knowledge of industry software and tools, such as CAD, will be helpful too. Some companies will provide on-the-job training, but this will vary depending on the position.
Absolutely! Systems Engineers are in high demand across industries like Aerospace, Defence, Energy, IT and Transportation. The field offers excellent job security, competitive salaries and the chance to work with cutting-edge technology.
Systems Engineer job requirements may include a bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant subject such as Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Computer Science. But as mentioned above, you may not need a degree at all and can instead become a Systems Engineer through an apprenticeship.
